Hello all--

New to site....posted info in Welcome Mat. Looking forward to learning and contributing on this site!

Owned several RVs over past 15 years…..Class C, Class A, 5er, and TT. All have their pros / cons.

Just sold our 2009 Toyhauler. Just too heavy (13K GVWR for my 2003 Ford V10). Great truck and do not want to sell it for a diesel. We do not have toys, but liked the three queen beds and genny.

Will retire end of June and wife and I want to spend some time traveling around the Southwest with our 16yo son. (CA, NV, NM, UT, etc). There may be summers when our 22 yo son will join us….but being a recent college grad and his age, he may not go with us very often. Wife enjoys close to home camping at state parks, but does not want to travel for extended trips (3 weeks at a time max).

Fly fishing in the above areas is near top of my list of things to do. Spending time with our 16yo son, who is on the Autism spectrum, is our top priority. I want him to camp and enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. He enjoys RV travels. I may be traveling at times solo for my fishing excursions or for locations further away.

Looking for another TT. As I get older, I prefer things much simpler…..smaller, lighter, practical, etc.
Deciding on brand, floorplan (bunks or no bunks) and length are my current quandaries.

Will purchase used or maybe new.

Large U dinette OR bunks, larger shower, fixed queen vs Murphy, are the options I am considering.

Would like to keep size to max 28-29’ overall length (smaller is preferable). At least 50 gal of freshwater and 40/40 gray and black.

Primary places we stay….State parks, RV parks, campgrounds with no hook ups, and some BLM, but not much. Will mount a genny above propane tanks.

Thoughts and recommendations for a selection or other things I should be considering?

Are the Double over Double Bunks in the 2400BH suitable for young adults, or are they primarily for children?.
What are the weight limits for each bunk?

Thanks!

I personally wouldn’t want to sleep in there but my kids are 10 and 16 and they don’t mind it ,yet.
My 16 year old is 6 foot
I believe the stated weight limit is 250 (Jayco wins in this regard imo)

What I have seen some do is remove the top bunk and makes the bottom one like a regular bed

On occasions the mother person comes they can sleep on the dinette or there is always room on the floor for a folding cot or air mattress. It is camping

I would say they are primarily for children but you can squeeze an adult in there if necessary. Def wont be comfortable but its doable. Agree with NB Canada, air mattress or sofa in our case is a better option for an adult. You'll be happy with the shower/bathroom size and the queen mattress will have to be replaced. Its not comfy at all!!!!
 
How about some of the smaller toyhaulers? You could use the garage as a bedroom for 1 and 2 people?

We have double bunks in our Transcend 247BH and same situation with the 16 year old and college grad. She has only been out with us once but had no complaints with the bunks. I have added mattress pads to them since as we do have a longer trip planned for this summer. But both my kids are happy sleeping in hammocks overnight so the bunks probably seem fancy to them. Good luck deciding , we like simple too.
 
We have the 2500RL, and four adults in it. Our son, about 5'6 maxes out on the theatre seating. He doesn't complain, but it can't be that comfortable. Our daughter sleeps on the dinette, that is fairly comfortable, if you can prevent the cushions from moving while you sleep. If we had 4 adults on a regular basis, I wouldn't go with the theater seating, but instead the couch with the murphy bed. Like others have mentioned, a cot or air mattress (can't stand them) would also work. We love the floorplan of the 2500RL.
 
My 16 and 14 year old sons have no complaints about the bunk beds. I've slept on both bunks when we've had my parents stay with us, and no complaints from me other than getting into the top bunk isn't the easiest if you're not limber.

For your situation I think it would be ideal. The 22yo can fit in the top bunk, or sleep on the floor, or on the dinette, for the rare times he camps with you.

That'll be the expectation I have for my kids once they age out of camping with their parents. :D

Forgot to mention, I've upgraded the main bed with a proper mattress, and added 3" foam toppers to the bunk beds. The factory mattresses are only good for little kids that wouldn't know any better.

Ummm???
Guess my kids 10 and 16 don’t know better

Or maybe they realize they are camping

Lol, I guess my kids are spoiled. But also because the wife and I sleep in the bunks when my parents take over our bed. And we like our comfort.
 
Having spent 6 days in the 2610ML together with my SO, i would not know where to go, what to do, if 4 adults were cooped up in that trailer. I'm, let's say... Husky? 6ft6 and burly? and I suck up a lot of air in the trailer ;-)
 
NB Canada, the bottom bunk on our 2021 2400BH has a half-thickness mattress compared to the top bunk. Is this the same on yours?


To the OP, I'd say you could get four adults in a 2400BH, especially if your older son only joins occasionally. The downside compared to some of the other options mentioned is that the bunks will always be bunks even when they're not used as such, whereas if your kids join just some of the time, for all the other months the dinette and sofa in a non-bunk model are useful for you and your wife.

The biggest complaint my wife and I have about the 2400BH is the lack of a place for everyone to sit and relax. The dinette is good for eating, not so good for more than two people to chill out. On the weekends we'd convert to the bunk and use it like a big couch with some large throw pillows, but then there's no table...
 
I like that idea of converting that dinette (dang those benches are narrow and low!) into some lounging area! for the 2610ML perhaps look into relocating the tv from across the slideout and theater seats to the wall closing off the bedroom? Or a smaller tv in general - that 40 inch tv is a big space eater.

Was trying to imagine something like the tv-dinner table from the smaller trailers, to hook that into the theater seating; but that would cut into the walking space.

Isn't it something? You just got the trailer, and already are thinking about needing a bigger one, different layout, better solution to the dinette, and so on :)
